Technics SL-1210GR2 Grand Class GR Turntable

Introducing the SL-1210GR2BK Grand Class GR Turntable

New Motor-Drive System, ΔΣ-Drive (Delta Sigma Drive)

Utilising Technics' advanced PWM signal processing knowledge, the new ΔΣ- The drive system reduces high harmonics and suppresses motor vibrations, creating smoother, more accurate turntable rotation and providing an enriched musical reproduction.

The First Stage of The New Generation of Technics’ Direct Drive Turntables

Since inventing the world’s first direct-drive turntable, Technics has continued to work to improve sound quality. It has now developed the ΔΣ-Drive, which suppresses minute vibrations from the motor and improves the electromagnetic conversion accuracy of the cartridge.

Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieving Stable Rotation

In 1970, Technics revolutionised the turntable market with the introduction of the world's first direct drive system. Unlike other models, this motor operates at low speed and directly powers the platter, creating many advantages like reduced noise due to motor vibration and longer durability since no replacements are needed.

Multi-Stage Silent Power Supply

Low-Noise Switching Circuit. A high-speed switching power supply provides a dependable electricity source with reduced noise and hum. A switching power supply for turntables eliminates the need for massive transformers and reduces resonance vibrations. With a switching frequency higher than 100 kHz, sound quality is kept free from noise interference.

Current Injection Active Noise Cancelling

Pursuing Rigidity and Vibration Damping Characteristics

Tonearm: Achieving High Initial-Motion Sensitivity

The tonearm tracks the rotation of the record and enables reading with high precision, and the tonearm inherited by Technics is the traditionally used static-balance universal S-shaped tonearm, employing an aluminium pipe with excellent lightweight and rigidity for the material of the tonearm pipe.

With its gimbal suspension construction, the tonearm bearing section uses a cut-processed housing that employs high-precision bearings, as in the SL-1200G and SL-1200GR. The high initial-motion sensitivity of 5 mg or less is achieved through manual assembly and adjustment by skilled Japanese artisans. This enables the grooves etched into the records to be accurately traced.

In addition, one type of auxiliary weight comes included, and the cartridge can be swapped with a variety of other cartridges to match the music genre or feeling. (Applicable cartridge weight when using the supplied auxiliary weight: 10 - 16.4 g (not including the supplied headshell))
